DIPPER.

Patentd Jan. 21, 1908.

To'uZZ 'whom 'it may-concern: .lv

Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. REXER, .a

citizen of the United States, residing at De graff', in the county of Logan, in the State of .Ohio, have-invented a useful Improvement in Dippers, of which the following is a specication.

This invention is an improved construction of .dippergthe object bein to provide a clipper which will always rest' at and there-- by maintain the handle in the proper position. At the present,time dippers are usually constructedl in such a manner thatthe bowl does not rest flat and in case the di per is left in the can or other receptacle the` an-` dle is permitted to sink letting the entire vdipper drop down into the liquid containedl 1n The invention consists alsov in certainjdetails' hereinafter fully explained and pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings `forming a part of this; specification;` Figure 1 'is a view showing the practical application of my invention. Fig. 2l 1s afvertlcal sectional' view of the dippe'r bowl, the handle beingfshowmin elevation.

Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectionalview'v of the bowl, the handle being omitted. y

- In carrying outv my invention I employva Abowl A towhich the handle B is attached.

The bowl lA andv handle vB maybe made of any suitable material and either punched or.

molded as preferred and the may be made integral or se arate.l 4The owl A vis .provided with a at bottom A and .outwardly inclined v side wallsA2 and' upon theinner face of the side directly opposite the handle I arrange a certain amount of metal O thel weight of which is in excess of the weight of the handle B so that the bowl will always be held in a flat position and thereby maintain the handle in an elevated position. Ii' the bowl of the dip er is made' of sheet metal thisl weight C is p aced in there after the bowl has been sha ed, but if the bowl is made of cast metal t e ro eramount of' metal is cast in with the ow at the same time there- 4by throwing the excess of weight at the proper point. 'It will be noted that the mass of metal C gradually tapers to' the upper edge of the bowl and is concave so as to permit the contents of the dipper to be readily poured there from., It will thus be seen ,that I provide a novel form of dipper which can be used exactly the same as an lordinary dipper but which will alwaysbe 'maintained in a definite position and will Ihold the handle in a convenient yposition for grzpmg.. aving thus described my invention, what I claiin as new anddesire to protect by Letters Patent is v A dipper comprising a -bowl having a flat bottom .and inollnedl sidewalls, a handle secured to one side of said wall adjacent its upper edge and a curved tapering. mass of metal aving a hat bottom arranged upon the interiorof-thebottomof the bowl', against the `wall opposite the handle, said mass of meta-1 having a weight greater than the weighto the handle whereby the handle will be maintainedinl an upwardly extending osition. a e.
